The GVFr Satis


Description:

FS1 Tech Room Description

The dreaded Satis freighter was thought to be a warship when it was first encountered in the Aldebaran Encounter. It has five turrets and a strong hull, making it quite dangerous to the inexperienced pilot. However, most experienced pilots in the GTA know enough to attack the Satis' main weakness: its weak plating around the turrets. Disarming a Satis is most often the best way to destroy it.

While capturing supply ships is often an intelligent plan, the Satis has been considered dangerous enough to rank as a Class C threat. Treat it as one.

FS2 Tech Room Description

When the first Satis-class freighter was encountered by Terran forces during the Terran-Vasudan War, its firepower led Terran Command to classify it as a light cruiser. Only after a disabled Satis was captured did its true nature become known. Now designated the GVFr Satis class, these freighters still serve as an iron fist within the velvet glove of a freighter convoy. Few enemy fighters who mistake a Satis for a Ma'at or Bes live to regret their error.

The Satis really behaves more like a Transport than a freighter, it couldn't dock with cargo containers originaly. Generally Terran Turrets are useless blobs of goo, but in a convoy formation, the five guns of the Satis could mean the difference between the convoy surviving or not.

The Satis' ability to escort itself died with advent of shielding for fighters, but they are somewhat like sentry guns: get about four of them together, and they will cause you trouble. They are also very good at bomb-interception.
